Get a Cool and Useful Outdoor Subwoofer for Your Patio
The post Get a Cool and Useful Outdoor Subwoofer for Your Patio appeared first on Homedit.
It’s almost time for patio season and that means it’s time to start planning outside activities with your friends and family. One of the things some people have is an outdoor subwoofer, which is used for music as part of entertainment. They have a BBQ or a bonfire. Today we are going to talk about…
You can buy any subwoofer that you would like for your backyard. Whether it’s an underground one or freestanding, choose one that fits your personal and backyard needs. But if you really want to know which one you should buy, you should buy the TIC Outdoor inground subwoofer as it’s small but it’s very powerful and you won’t even notice the actual subwoofer as it’ll be in the ground.
Cons:
This subwoofer is perfect for either indoors or outdoors but it is not weather resistant so you should probably have it under a cover if you are going to get this one. But the quality of sound makes up for the no-weather resistance issue, as it has a 50 watts amplifier and a 100 watts capacity should you get another 100-watt amplifier.
Top Picks
Best for: If looking for a prettier speaker to show off – Klipsch Speaker
While the actual subwoofer does not need to be near the main speakers, you still have to put them in a good position, or you won’t really get the bass from it. So, if you are trying to play music on low frequency, you will have a hard time trying to find where the sound is coming from.
Cons:
Finally, we have an inground subwoofer by OSD Outdoor that is 8” tall and has a maximum output of 500 watts. It looks very bulky, but it doesn’t matter as most of it is buried underground. While it can output 500 watts, it still needs a subwoofer amplifier to make the sound clear and amazing with the bass that you are looking for. This model has a 10” bass radiator so you know that it’s going to be very loud (if you’re into that)
This subwoofer may be on the heavier side, but the bass/sound makes up for it.
It is bronze in color, so it can easily blend in anywhere that you put it and like most outdoor subwoofers it’s weather resistant, so you don’t have to worry about the weather elements.
Cons:
Pros:
One of the best features about this subwoofer is it has a laser based Klippel measurement technology which means it has a smooth sound over lower frequency, so you don’t have to deal with the crackling that is usually associated with low frequencies. Also, you can expect that this subwoofer is very stable as it’s designed to stay stable, so you don’t have to worry about it knocking over.
What’s cool about this particular sub-woofer is that it has an anti-theft feature as it includes a built in eye bolt to anchor it to keep it in its place so burglars will certainly have a hard time trying to take it.
In our opinion, the Polk Audio brand is the best because while it’s small it’s very loud for its size if you’re having a party.
How to Choose An Outdoor Subwoofer
Cons:
- The size and how your yard is laid out
- The location of the main speakers
- How you plan to connect the rest of the system
- Your budget
Bass
Boasting at 50 watts power per unit, a couple of these are high enough to fill just about every outdoor home. In addition to the fact that these speakers have an exceptional sensitivity ranking, as all Klipsch speakers appear to have. The AW-650s (the traditional ones) and the AWR-650-SMs are 95 and 94db respectively, whereas most outdoor speakers are in the 85-90 range. To give you an example of the value of that, a strong speaker would possibly be about twice as noisy with a higher sensitivity rating than a rival who has the same continuous power control. To give you an example of the noise, think between a very loud restaurant to a subway. If you think that’s loud, that’s how loud this speaker is.
Power Handling
These speakers actually look pretty aesthetically as they look like real granites so it’s ok if you want them in the wide-open space or you can still hide these speakers if you need to. The one we are talking about is granite, but they also have another option that you can buy which is sandstone.
They have a BBQ or a bonfire. Today we are going to talk about outdoor subwoofers, our top picks, and how to choose them.
Types of outdoor subwoofers
- Underground – These types are usually buried in the ground and you’ll usually just see a mushroom dome sticking out slightly.
- Landscape – You put these kinds of subwoofers alongside the landscaping around your home, in your flower beds or hidden behind plants. These types are meant to blend in with the environment if you don’t want them to be obvious in sight.
- Freestanding – These types of subwoofers you put either on a solid surface or near your plants.

Pros:

You can get this in either black (what we’re talking about) or white (another option that you can buy) so you have two options of what color you have.
Are subwoofers bad for your car?
This gorgeous subwoofer has bass so loud you’d forget how tiny it is.
Bottom Line
Here is another speaker by Definitive Technology that is small (5.5”) but mighty. It boasts a 5.25” mid/woofer, a 1” tweeter and 5”x8” bass radiator. It is also weather-resistant like most (all) outdoor subwoofers should be. This is another speaker that has the mounting flexibility that has a 360-degree versatility so it can be in any angle that you want which is pretty cool.
These speakers are 100% on the bigger side but it is pretty much the same for the course as louder and more powerful speakers. With that said, it is not hard to find a place for these speakers. For on-ground speakers outside, the biggest consideration is that you probably have to pass wire underneath them. Besides that, you would require a direct burial wire that is more complex and could be more costly. But if you truly want surround sound, then it’ll be worth hooking up a pair of speakers so that you can enjoy them years to come.
